1. RESEARCH PROCESS Presented by:- Aditi Garg

2. DEFINE-RESEARCH The process of gathering information for the purpose of initiating, modifying or terminating a particular investment or group of investments .

3. 7 STEPS OF RESEARCH PROCESS Step One: Define research problem Step Two: Review of literature Step Three: Formulate hypotheses Step Four: Preparing the research design Step Five: Data collection Step Six: Data analysis Step Seven: Interpretation and report writing

4. Define research problem Review the literature Formulate hypotheses Design research Collect data Analyse data Interpret and report ff f f ff Where f = feed back(helps in controlling the sub system ff= feed forward(serves the vital function of providing criteria for evaluation

5. Step One: Define Research Problem There are two types of research problem, viz., those relate to states of nature relationship between variables . Essentially two steps are involved in define research problem, viz., understanding the problem thoroughly and rephrasing the same into meaningful terms from an point of view.

6. Step Two: Review of Literature Once the problem is define, a brief summary of it should be written down. It is compulsory for a research worker writing a thesis for a Ph.D. degree to write a synopsis of topic and submit it to necessary committee or the research board for approval.

7. Step Three: Formulate Hypothesis Formulate hypothesis is tentative assumption made in order to draw out and test its logical or empirical consequences. Hypothesis should be very specific and limited to the piece of research in hand because it has to be tested. The role of the hypothesis is to guide the researcher by delimiting the area of research and to keep him on the right track.

8. Step Four: Preparing the Research Design The function of research design is to provide for the collection of relevant evidence with minimal expenditure of effort, time and money. Research purpose may be grouped into four categories, viz., (1) Exploration, (2) Description,(3) Diagnosis, and (4) Experimentation.

9. Step Five: Data Collection Primary data can be collected through: By Observation Through personal interview Through telephone interview By mailing of questionnaries Through Schedules

10. Step Six: Data Analysis The analysis of data requires a number of closely related operations such as establishment of categories. This stage mainly include : Coding Editing Tabulation

11. Step Seven: Interpretation and Report Writing Researcher has to prepare the report of what has been done by him. Writing of report includes: the preliminary pages; the main text, and the end matter.
